The Bozdoğan water belt
The Bozdoğan water belt
The aqueduct built by the Roman Emperor Valens in the late 4th century is also known as the Valens Aqueduct. The late-century aqueduct is also known as the Valens Aqueduct. The Bozdoğan Water Canal was built to meet the water needs of Istanbul, which stood out as the most populous city in the world until the 1700s. In the Middle Ages, the aqueduct, which met the city's water needs, was also actively used in Ottoman times. The Bozdoğan Water Belt, part of a water transportation system of about 250 kilometers in total, filled Istanbul's water reservoirs (numerous underground reservoirs and open pools) with a total of 1 million cubic meters. Today, the high walls of the aqueduct pass over Atatürk Boulevard, which connects the district of Fatih to Eminönü. If you want to explore the Water Belt in more detail, you can spend time in the Fatih Memorial Park, which is right next to the arch.
